Palace v West Brom – Team news preview

Last updated : 22 October 2004 By Nik Taylor

Palace will look to get back to winning ways in this relegation six-pointer against fellow Premiership new-boys West Brom.

Dowie’s men will be boosted by the news that there are no fresh injury concerns following last week’s narrow defeat at Bolton.

Both Aki Riihilahti and Fitz Hall have recovered from slight knocks in time to retain their places in the starting eleven.

Long-term casualty Danny Butterfield turned out for the reserves again in midweek and may find himself a place on the bench.

The good news from West Brom is they are missing two of their most influential players through suspension. Darren Purse sits it out tomorrow as does Palace target Neil Clement.

Probable Palace XI:
Kiraly
Boyce Hall Popovic Granville
Routledge Watson Hughes Riihilahti Kolkka
Johnson
